Many words can have more than one meaning. Consider the word light. Light can refer to weight (as in "The package was light.") or it can refer to an appliance (as in "Would you please turn on the light.") or it can refer to the color of something (as in "She had light brown hair."). Here are some more words with multiple meanings.
